Another day o' cloudy skies feelin' low an' I don't know why, I guess it shouldn't be news to me now it's been this way for centuries, but I'm holding out
I heard from legends and crystal balls sun gave warmth to the great and small I saw the smiles good ol' Ray put on their face It ain't too much to want gentle grace
This pessimism brings my brain a schism, splittin' up my mind But I know before too soon I’ll find Footsteps on my porch of ultraviolet kind
When the sun comes knockin’ at mah door And after I pick my jaw off the floor I’ll “come in stranger!” It’s been too long a while He’ll hang up his hat with a radiant smile
I’ll ask where he’s been for all of these years We’ll talk about his travels over two or three beers I’ll hang on every word, lookin’ forward to brighter days When the sun comes back to stay!
Maybe he just read the sign wrong Or fell asleep waitin’ on his train Or the Galaxy Express takes a century, no less, To come back round our way, again!
Everyone says your gone, but I know you’re only late I’ll leave the light on, if you reciprocate Just promise you’re back and we won’t get burned You’ll be the prodigal sun as far as I’m concerned
When the sun comes knockin’ at mah door And after I pick my jaw off the floor I’ll “come in stranger!” It’s been too long a while He’ll hang up his hat with a radiant smile
I’ll ask where he’s been for all of these years We’ll talk about his travels over 2 or 3 beers I’ll hang on every word, lookin’ forward to brighter days When the sun comes back to stay!
